SUPERSTlTiOUS TERROR.
The Power 1t May Exert Upon the Strengt
and Even Life of Man.

and Even Life of "A Man.
One of the survivors OF an earl V
Polar expedition lately told an incident
which illustrates the power which
supersttious terrors may exert upon
the strength and even life of a man.
One of the strongest and most hopeful
members of the expedition was young
Scotchman The party was obliged to
spend the second winter on the ice;
the rations were low. and many of the
men already had died of scurvy and
cold.
C, the Edinburgh man, though
weak, was the life of the party. His
joke and laugh never failed. One
night, after they had shifted camp to q
new place, he said Il am sure to 90

place Demons Land this morning.

The Scotehman laughed uueasilv.
but from that moment he gave up all
energy and hope. In twenty-four
hours he was dead. Cold and hunger

Utilizing Lace Garments.

Lace garments that have long beeh
laid aside are now being used in max
ing lace dresses. For instance, L lace
sacque can easily be transformed into
Z gathered basque by shirring it at the
waist line on silk lining; the sleeves,
if flowing in the old fashion, should
imply be turned upside down. with
the widest part gathered in at the arm
holes. making leg-of-mutton sleeves.
Mautles and shawlS can be arranged to
form most stylish drapery. and lace
tlounces are in great favor, not only
rs parts of lace dresses. but as TRIM
mincs on silks, surahS. etc. 1t is well,
however. to take good care of lace
mantles vet a little longer, as it is pre-
dicted that they are to be worn again
as they were originally. Luce 1ounces

FAMILY MOURNING.
wearing Of Black Apparel Not Rs-
Ih' liable Sign Of sorrow.

porone I believe that the custom OF
earring mourning apparel In the way
"a badge Of sorrow and sffiiction is
.;no out of use. and that the time
st,nl come-and possibly may not be far
a;s,ont-when such practice will have
hacome obsolete. Various reasons may
10 offered why Christian people should
I;scountenance such custom alto
,other. 1t is said that in European
ssountries black is employed generally,
tac,use it represents darkness. unto
rbch death is like. as it is a privation
- life In China, on the contrary,
white IS used. because the people hope
and believe their dead have gone to
Heaven; the place of all-purity. In
Egypt yellow is worn, because it rep
rrscnts the decaying of flowers and
trees. which become yellow as they de-
cav. In Ethiopia brown is used. since

turu. In certain parts of Turkey blue
"a worn, because this color represents
the skv. where the people trust their
dead have gone; but in other portions
Of the empire blue and violet are
odonted. since these colors, being a
blending of black and blue, represent,
from one point of view sorrow; from
the other hope. Now, in reality, to
wear mourning signifies nothing and
answers no valuable purpose. 1t is
in truth no certain index to the state
Of the mind To see an entire
family clothed in black person
would naturally conclude that the
family are true mourners, needing con-
ISOLATION in their sorrow. Yet what is
the fact in a large majority OF
instances? Pope speaks OF those who
bear about the mockery of woe:
ITO midnight dances and the public show"
And alas! mourning apparel is but
too often 1.-The mockery of woe" The
great expense incurred in providing
mourning garments is also n cOnsidera-
ton of weight which should not be
overlooked. The clothing of an entire
family, and especially where the family
is large, in mourning garments is no
tI1iiInR lllillfT. vi tbuISt the wealthy
and such as can afford the expense
make no account Of it, but to those who
arc poor or are in moderate circum-
stances it is serious tax, and in fact
proves nothing short of Il most gI.ievous
peeuniarY burden. And in many cases
the custom of wearing mourning
amount, to prodigal waste of money.
MANY families are abundantly supplied
with clothing. the wardrobe is filled
with supertluous garments, and speedi-
". perhaps, the mourning apparel is
laid aside so that it is the same as
money thrown away. An estimate
made Of the amount of money ex-
pended in purchasing such apparel
would astonish, fancy. almost any
community in tie land. Besides. what
is there in the good moral influence
arising from such a custom to balance
this vast expenditure?- George NeUeil
